Jiri points out that we don't need any time checking and time string
parsing if the --time option is not set. That makes sense.
This patch refactors the time range parsing code, move the duplicated
code from perf report and perf script to time_utils and check if --time
option is set before parsing the time string. This patch is no logic
change expected. So the usage of --time is same as before.
For example:
Select the first and second 10% time slices:
perf report --time 10%/1,10%/2
perf script --time 10%/1,10%/2
Select the slices from 0% to 10% and from 30% to 40%:
perf report --time 0%-10%,30%-40%
perf script --time 0%-10%,30%-40%
Select the time slices from timestamp 3971 to 3973
perf report --time 3971,3973
perf script --time 3971,3973
Committer testing:
Using the above examples, check before and after to see if it remains
the same:
$ perf record -F 10000 -- find . -name "*.[ch]" -exec cat {} + > /dev/null
[ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.626 MB perf.data (42392 samples) ]
$
$ perf report --time 10%/1,10%/2 > /tmp/report.before.1
$ perf script --time 10%/1,10%/2 > /tmp/script.before.1
$ perf report --time 0%-10%,30%-40% > /tmp/report.before.2
$ perf script --time 0%-10%,30%-40% > /tmp/script.before.2
$ perf report --time 180457.375844,180457.377717 > /tmp/report.before.3
$ perf script --time 180457.375844,180457.377717 > /tmp/script.before.3
For example, the 3rd test produces this slice:
$ cat /tmp/script.before.3

Install 'coreutils-debuginfo' to see cat's guts (symbols), but then, the
above chunk translates into this 'perf report' output:

Now lets see after applying this patch, nothing should change:
$ perf report --time 10%/1,10%/2 > /tmp/report.after.1
$ perf script --time 10%/1,10%/2 > /tmp/script.after.1

Cool, just the 'perf report' tips changed, QED.
